OKLAHOMA CITY – The Oklahoma History Center will celebrate its 15th anniversary by offering free admission to the public Nov. 17-21, sponsored by the Inasmuch Foundation.

The OHC will also open its newest permanent exhibit, “Launch to Landing: Oklahomans and Space,” on Nov. 17. The exhibit, which will give patrons a chance to see Oklahoma’s contributions to the history of aviation and space exploration, features the Skylab CM-118 command module as its centerpiece.

The OHC, which opened its doors at 800 Nazih Zuhdi Drive in Oklahoma City in November 2005, houses the administrative offices of the Oklahoma Historical Society. Most of the historical society’s artifact collections and research archives are also kept at the OHC.

The Oklahoma History Center is open from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday. For more information, visit www.okhistory.org/historycenter or call (405) 522-0765.
